Hi everyone. Hope you have all had a great Christmas.
I would just like to remind you all that there will not be a Tuesday practical evening this coming Tuesday at Jittermugs, as we have not been able to arrange it due to the Xmas break.
Secondly I also want to mention the the coming Wednesday will be a demonstration by top Photoshop guru Gavin Hoey http://www.gavtrain.com/ those of you who have seen him before will know that this is certain to be a great evening.
This year Gavin won the title of Adobe International Photoshop Evangelist, so certainly knows what he is talking about.

Practical Evening 8th December.
Hi, this weeks meeting is a practical, so please remember to bring your cameras.
The subject will be "still life" so a lens that can focus to near objects will help. Additionally if you have and ideas you want to explore or any props you want to bring to take pics of that would be great. We hope to set up at least three separate areas to shoot so there should be time and space for everyone.

XMAS QUIZ NIGHT
Can you all please let Carol know if you are coming to the quiz night at the club hall on December 15th.
"Wildlife Photography" David Featherbe
Due to the current bad weather, the meeting for Wednesday, 1st December 2010 has been cancelled.
Unfortunately our speaker cannot make it due to the snow. However we have arranged for him to visit us later in the year.
As the conditions down to the hall can be dangerous we have decided to cancel this weeks meeting.
This will leave us without the opportunity to collect names for the learning evening at Jittermugs in Preston Street. If you would like to come next Tuesday 7th Dec. at 7:45 please let Carol know as soon as possible.

Ross Cup Results
Hi to all,
Faversham had a good contingent at the KCPA's Ross Cup, First of all congratulations to David Gethin for attaining a merit award, there were some excellent prints at this years competition and it looked like it would certainly be a close fought competition.
1st Gateway..........135 points
2nd Eastbourne......130 points
3rd Ashford...........127 points
3rd Tonbridge........127 points
4th FAVERSHAM......126 points
Faversham entry.
Maez - Robin Warren - 12 points
Murder at the Cathedral - Greg Cullen - 15 points
Side car grass track - Robin Warren - 16 points
Nautilus Shell - Colin Becket - 15 points
Red Baron - Kevin Rook - 16 points
Wheres my sock - David Gethin - 19 points "merit award"
Fran - Greg Cullen - 16 points
Woodpecker - Bob Connelly - 17 points
I reckon to come fourth out of an entry of 32 clubs is a very good performance by Faversham, the judge's comments on some of the entries showed what
his personal likes were, and I am sure that some of the new members that attended had their eyes opened by some of the images shown and the marks attained by those images, the scoring was out of (20) twenty, and some prints were marked at 8 / 10 / 11 a recent lecturer at Faversham entered a great
shot of a statue, detail throughout, writing on the statues plinth crystal clear, but only managed a 15 score, last week our Kevin scored a 17 for his picture
Virgin 747 & the Red Arrows, in the competition there was an almost identical image?? this scored 19 and obtained a merit award (Kev's print is better) so
it shows how judges look at images in a different way.
I dont know if David knows this, but it is tradition within the club that, should anyone attain a merit award at the Ross Cup, thay have to buy the tea's at
the next club meeting, ok David I made it up, dont panic, but the rule stands, the lowest scoring member does the washing up, Marigolds out ?????

TUESDAY EVENINGS
Its that time again and our Tuesday Evenings are here again.
In order for Tuesday evenings to be successful, a minimum of 15 people would need to attend to cover the cost of hall rental. This does not include the instructors who are already donating their time, knowledge and quite often equipment.
The first Tuesday of each month will be a Critique and Questions night. Members will be required to enter their names on a sheet to indicate if they will be attending. If they do not attend, they will still be required to pay £2.00 to help with hall rental. If less than 15 people attend for 3 consecutive months, Tuesday evenings will be cancelled.
COMPETITIONS
- KCPA has advised the maximum number of prints plus projected images a judge should be required to comment on and mark per evening is 80. Our membership at present stands at 72 which means theoretically if each member enters only one photo per competition night we have nearly reached the limit.
- Members will only be allowed 1 entry per category for the remainder of this season.
- End of Year competitions need to be split in order for judges to properly evaluate and mark the entries.
· 13th April at present has 5 categories to be judges. These will be split into Colour Print of the Year for A and B sections on 13th April. Monochrome Print of the Year for A and B sections with Portrait of the Year on 27th April.
COMPETITION POLL RESULTS
The Poll resulted in a majority of members indicating they would prefer to enter less photos in competitions rather than have fewer practical or lecture evenings. More Practical evenings are needed, especially for newer members.
2 evenings have come free which may be used for Practical evenings. These are Ash Wednesday which as we are now in the new hall we are able to hold our regular Wednesday meeting and 2nd February, the lecturer is unable to attend. 9th March (Ash Wednesday) may become a Practical evening. 2nd February may be an in-house competition with critiques, members marking and a certificate for the Members Choice photo. These ideas are yet to be confirmed and will be readdressed at the next Committee meeting.

Competitions
Hi Everyone
As we are drawing nearer to our first competition of the season I would like to draw your attention to the rules page linked from the home page on our website www.fdcc.co.uk or from this Link.
Printed entries must be presented either surface or rebate mounted on thick card or mountboard, you can use any colour but I recommend keeping to shades of black or white board. Maximum board size is 40x50cm, and the image size limited to A4 for the "B" section members. On the top rear of the mountboard please put the title of the print, your membership number, and indicate if it is your primary or secondary entry. We need this information as if we get too many submissions for the competition we may need to limit the entry to one BW and one colour print per member.
For the projected images Robin need the files one week before the competition date. you need to save your image at a size of 1024x768, 8bit jpg in the sRGB colourspace. Image save other than this may not project correctly. The file name needs to be saved as shown in the document linked from the rules page.
Most of all please get to the hall early to give yourself plenty of time to submit your entries as there can be long queues. Will will start judging at 8pm sharp. We cannot accept late submissions.

On line printing
Hi to all,
With reference to the previous club meeting, one of the questions was about getting your images printed via a lab on the internet.
The following lab has been recommended, dscolourlabs.co.uk I have been informed that you will get better prices per picture if you send individual files, not a CD as CD's have to be handled by the labs staff.
All images sent must be in the SRGB COLOUR SPACE, also advised is to send off one print, this just to determine the balance between your monitor and the labs printing.
So, when your print is returned to you, should it look a bit light, you can then adjust settings in your software, ie darken 5% remember or save the settings, to use these when sending off your next file, carry out all adjustments to your image including sharpening.

John Wigmore's Lecture
Well what a great lecture lastnight from John Wigmore. Excellent photos and what great explainations to them. Where they are and exactly what he's done to them. And the results were stunning.
Makes me want to book some holiday and a trip to scotland and the lake district.
So a big thank you to john for coming Down to us. And that fact he's a local photographer is great as some of his subjects are places we can all go to.
His photo of the airport cafe was great to see as me and my partner were there Sunday for breakfast. :-)

Final comp's of 09/10 season
Last night comp was very well attended and I was very impressed by the overall standard of the work. Roger Force FRPS judged and although we had lots of entries to get through, he still managed (in his own special way) to give a good review of each. I do agree with his comments on the Matte cutting. If anyone needs any help with mattes then please ask.
Well done to all those listed below;
Colour A Section - Robin Warren - 'Sidecar Grasstrack'
Colour B Section - Tim Brown - 'Rider 62'
Mono A Section - Colin Beckett - 'Nautilus Shell'
Mono B Section - Samantha Jones - 'Waiting'
Portrait Colour - David Gethin - ' Follow The Light'
Portrait Black & White - Robin Warren - ' Millie'
Finally, I would like to congratulate Kate for winning the best newcomer trophy.
I do hope all the winners can make the presentation dinner, or I will look a bit silly on my own with a table full of trophies.

Next week 10th march
Please remember that this coming Wednesday, 10th March, is a special photo opportunity. Richard has hired the Birds of Prey from Farming World for us.
For those of you who have not had this opportunity before, it is a unique experience being able to photograph these exceptional birds close up. For members who were lucky enough to participate last year, we are hoping to have new species this year.
Both the new club lights and soft lighting with varied backgrounds and perches will be provided.
Bring your cameras and tripods.
Please remember these are wild birds and respect the handlers advice regarding the birds.

Well a big thankyou to the models that came and posed for us lastnight.
Although the conditions weren't ideal (very cold) from a look at just some of the photos it turned out ok and was worth while.

We will be setting up two sets of lights for studio type shots , and the rest of the building will be open for available light shots and flash photography.
Bring your camera gear, and a tripod if you have one as it may be dark in places and need long exposures.

Febuary 17th program update
The old program shows there is no club meet on the 17th February.
This is due to the hall not being available due to ash Wednesday.
There has now been an alternative arranged. Which I think you will enjoy.
So the new club meeting is going to be held at the new art centre in faversham. Well known as the Frank & Whittome building in quay lane.
The night will start at usual time. 7.30 for 8:00 start.
We will have up to 4 models for the night with 2 lighting setups. And I believe the tunnels will be open if u fancy venturing down them.
So bring your camera, flash and maybe a torch.
Hope to see you there.

Dover Western Heights
Hi All, Jen has arranged for us to have access to the Western Heights at Dover. 18th April, we need to meet at the top car park at about 10.30am. I am sure we will have a number of spare seats between us for those without transport.
Parking: St Martin’s Battery Car Park, South Military Road (East) and Western Heights Car Park, North Military Road (West). Parking (free)
There are bats in the Western Heights so we will have to avoid some areas, and its also the work day,but its should be a good day.
Walking boots or good trainers encouraged and torches required. Lots of stairs and not really for those a little unsteady on their feet! Smallish access tunnel into ditch so if anyone is scared of that also a no go.
Close to Samphire Hoe afterwards for those who fancy it.
